Summer Session 1 2025:
LTEN 158 - Modern American Literature

I am from East LA, Lincoln Heights (Clifton St., Ave 28, and Ave 26) and worked on Whittier Blvd. and Arizona Ave. throughout my childhood up to an adult. Triqua for life. I rep sopes from King Taco all day every day. Rap is my harmony. Cumbias are my jams.

I currently research architectural depictions of poor housing in American novels (mid19th and early 20th century) and policies that impact how and where characters and real people live. Previous research included analyzing comic book panels and tenement drawings of Eisner, Harrington, Outcault.
